Imbogodom are the UK’s Alexander Tucker and New Zealand’s Daniel Beban. "The Metallic Year" is their Thrill Jockey debut and first release under the Imbogodom moniker. Mutual friends in sound exploration, this Trans-Atlantic duo create other-worldly transmissions where improvisation gives way to mutated song forms and intricate soundscapes.

Imbogodom began life inside the depths of BBC’s Bush House, where Beban worked nights as a world service radio engineer. Taking advantage of the empty studios, Tucker and Beban dusted off the disused reel to reel tape machines and put them to work. "The Metallic Year" is a collection of eerie tracks where sound collage and unravelling songs present a haunted world of spooling atmospheres, warped instrumentation, and disembodied voices. The nocturnal creations were inspired by the tape experiments of BBC’s Radiophonics Workshop, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and their love of New Zealand musician Alastair Galbraith. Imbogodom continue in the tradition of these sonic pioneers to bring new sounds from old sources.

Daniel Beban is a musician and sound artist living in Wellington, New Zealand. Stretching himself across many bands and musical projects, Beban plays with Dr Quirkey’s Goodtimes Emporium Band, Little Wet Horse, Orchestra Of Spheres, and his solo project Sign Of The Hag.
